It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-74685 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Linux. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74685/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74685/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-74685","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-74685/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-74685","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2026-74685","DEBIAN-CVE-2026-74685","GHSA-pg82-jq9q-m7pf","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-74685"],"analysis":{"component_type":"kernel","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux kernel driver","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with high privileges can trigger an integer overflow in the LTC4282 hardware monitoring driver, causing incorrect current limit settings.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"integer_overflow"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Linux","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":null,"severity":null,"source":null,"vector":null,"version":null},"cwes":[],"description":"In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nhwmon: (ltc4282) Clamp negative current limits\n\nWhen a negative value is passed to ltc4282_write_curr(), the signed long\nval is cast directly to u64:\n\ndrivers/hwmon/ltc4282.c:ltc4282_write_curr() {\n        /* need to pass it in millivolt */\n        u32 in = DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST_ULL((u64)val * st-\u003ersense, DECA * MICRO);\n        ...\n}\n\nThis cast converts negative inputs into large positive values.
